Application filed. February 4, 1926.; ."Serial No. 86,033.' 'y

This'invention rez-lates to 4an improvement in saw oilei's especially adaptecl for use by lumber falleis and backers.

In sawing down/'trees 'and iin sa-wifng fthefelled trees 'into logs,pitch is often ,encoun-' tered, and in order to saw effectively, kerosene must be continuously Aapplied to the saw blade.

The object ofthe present invention is to provide a saw .oiler adapted for vtliesevpurposes and which when used by-buckers s iniultaneously oils both faces of the sawin an effective manner and without waste of the lubricant.

A further obj ect is to provide a novel form of mounting or hanger for the saw oiler.

Other objects and advantages reside in certain novel`V features of the construction,

will be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accom-A panying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective Vview showing the invention in use when sawing down a tree,

Figure 2'is a view partly in vertical section and partly vin elevationV showing the oiler embodying the invention,

Figure 3 is a fragmentary view in side elevation showing the oiler in use in oiling a saw when cutting a felled tree up into logs, and v K Figure 4 ,is a sectional View on the line 4,-.-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a rear elevation of the can with holder applied.

' Referring to the drawings it willbe seen that in all embodiments of the invention the oiler comprises a cylindrical container l having a head 2 closing its upper end, the head 2 being provided with a threaded filling neck l 8 to which a cap 4 is applied. The cap 4 preferably has a vent 5. The lower end of `the container l is provided with a lower head 6 terminating in a threaded filling head 7 with which a cap 8 is engaged. The cap 8 has a discharge fitting connected thereto, the discharge fitting preferably consisting of an outlet cock or spigot 9 having an externally threadedl nipple 10 extended through the cap 8 and clamped thereto by a nut 11. In the cock 9 a turning valve plugY 12 is fitted and held and has a bore or openin adapted to be aligned with the bore or opening of the cock or to be moved out of registry'therewith ment. arrangement and combination of parts which whereby to: permit orA shut off Vthe flow oif 'oil or lubricant Bypeiim'ititingfpartial ireg.-

f isti-ation of the bore -of the p'leifig 12 'with `the., fbore of thefeock to 'a greater orlesse'r degree theflowfmaybe regulated. 1.The body of the cock 9 is provided with -a discharge tip 15 having an axial passage 16 terminating in an axial discharge lport and communimting with lateral ports 17. Witlithis airangement of ports a numberof flexible and absorbent llubricant applicators are organized, the lubricant applicators being designated at 18 and .19 and preferably consisting of cords extended'through the lateral ports 17 and outthrough the axial port of the passage 16, the cords having knots 18a and 19a` therein to prevent their accidental displace- A hanger is provided for the saw oiler constituting the present invention and consists of ayoke 20 embracing the neck at the lower end of the container and Vextending throughV al loop 21 fastened to the head, 6. The arms of the yoke are designated at 22 `and these arms extend longitudinally of thecon-A Vtainer at Vone vside thereof and gradually converge so'that at a point adjacent the upper .end of the container these arms merge together, as indicated at 23, and are weld-ed or soldered togetherl and constitute the shank 24 of a hangerlhook, designated generally at 25. The shank 24 is held to the container by means of a strap 26 having its ends fastened f to the container and embracing the shank of the hook. 7

With this 'arrangement the container may be supported to oil the saw used in cutting down a tree as illustrated in Figure 3 or may.

be used in oiling a saw employed in cutting up a felled tree into logs. In the latter use the'lubricant applicators 18 Vand 19 extend down across the opposite faces of the saw and effectively .apply lubricant thereto. Notwithstanding the vertical disposition of the sawin blade,as indicated, the present inventionV is adapted for use in oiling a saw for all purposes but is'especially effective in applying kerosene to the saw blades in order to carry out the sawing operation when pitch is encountered. v I claim Y v1. Asaw oiler for use'on logs and trees and comprising a container having areduced neck at its'lower'end provided with adischarge fitting and a hanger having a yoke embracing the neck, said yoke having arms verging in a single member terminating in a hook above the container, means for secur- Ving the yoke-to the lower end of the container, and means for securing the hanger to the container above the point Where its arms merge into the single member. Y

2. A saw oiler having a discharge titting provided with an axial discharge passage and also having opposed lateral ports, and flexible and absorbent lubricant applicators extended in through the lateral ports and out through the axial discharge passage.

3. A saw oiler having a discharge itting provided with an axial discharge passage and also having opposed lateral ports and flexible and absorbent lubricant applying cords extended in through the lateral ports and out through the axial discharge passage,

the cords being knotted to prevent their disk Aand the other end free, whereby they may contact with opposite sides of a saw.
